Dental crown on implant has cracked – what to do?

Q. I have a dental crown over the dental implant I got a year ago. But for some stupid reason I have managed to crack the crown and I can feel that it is about to fall out any minute. A little bit has already come off and left a sharp edge which my tongue might get caught on. This is making me fearful to eat. I have rang my dentist and made an appointment, the earliest being saturday. Can you offer any advice about what I should do in the mean time?
A. hi many thanks for your email, the best thing is not to eat anything too hard on the tooth, the obvious treatment is going to be to have the crown on the implant replaced. hope this is helpful.
